Antigua St. John's - Double-crowned Party Monarch Tian Winter shared the stateside spotlight on August 30, in another edition of the Tempo Turns 7 concert series.

Winter, his Iconic Band and his ICandy Dancers were on show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center alongside Young Devyn and Kerwin Du Bois.

Tempo boasts of being the first and only pan-Caribbean media and entertainment company that broadcasts in 24 islands as well as New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, on Cablevision Chanel 1105.

The show on which Winter and his crew will appeared was streamed live via www.gottempo.com.

Winter and his Iconic Band’s participation in the Tempo Turns 7 concert series also forms part of the New York Tourism Office winter promotions activities in North America.

“We are pleased that we are able to utilise Tian’s international appeal to give greater visibility to Antigua & Barbuda. His successes on the local and regional stage, I am sure will generate a huge interest in Antigua & Barbuda,” said US Director of Tourism Derede Samuel Whitlock.

The Tempo Turns 7 gala is a summer-long event, with shows featuring a star-studded cast, including Luciano, Benjai, Denise Belfon, Nadia Baston and others. The organisers, headed by CEO Frederick Morton Jr. said they are happy to have Winter, his band and his dancers join the festivities.

The team left Antigua earlier this week, for what is the kick-off to several planned road trips. This jaunt will also see the King of the Party Stage performing at the Fifth Annual Caribbean Splashdown Music Festival in Marcus Garvey Park.

“This is the natural progression from a fantastic Carnival season at home where Tian dominated  the fetes and then went on to prove that prowess by recapturing both the Jumpy and Groovy crowns in the Party Monarch competition,” one of his managers, Kayode O’Marde said.

“The aim is to keep the home fires blazing, but we also have to blaze a regional and international path, and twin this with the promotion of Antigua & Barbuda and the Tian Winter brand. Tian, of course, is excited, as is the entire crew. We are certain that Antigua & Barbuda will be proud of them and that we’re all on the cusp of something good. From the Tri-State Area to Miami and the world,” O'Marde added.



In addition to support from the Department of Tourism and the Government of Antigua & Barbuda, the group’s North American trip is made possible through the contributions of New Thriving Restaurant, Chefs2U Events Ltd., Cool and Smooth, Little Canton Restaurant, Myst Carnival, Community First Credit Union, Joe Mikes and Wadadli Events Services.
